Random Saturday Musings

Because there is never enough random

** While driving Frog states that oldest tells her she is directionally challenged. Really?! Maybe she is like his mom and just likes to explore while driving and traveling. Seriously. We have seen some amazing parts of San Diego, CA due to my amazing skills to sight see.

We found the dock and some amazing lights, trees, and boats.



**Today my BFF Amy is moving into her new home. Her two youngest were running around and well, not helping too much. For instance they have the reliance shelving for their pantry. The shelves fell over during the move and got all messed up. Her middle son, "fixed" them. Only problem is that the cans fell out when one tried to load them with cans. :) It is really sweet how he helps.

Her youngest was just running around with excitement, anxiety, or maybe just because he's 8. I showed up and they started begging to come to my house. Well, I do have a pretty cool house with nothing to do, so who wouldn't want to come and sit and do nothing? Hahahahaha.

Well I totally brought them home with me. We went to the park and they played with two little guys that Sassy was baby sitting. Holy kids running everywhere! How do you do it Tori? I had a hard time keeping track of these four boys ages 7, 8, 10,& 10.

We did have fun. Here's proof . . .

She rocks at the monkey bars AND tree climbing.


** Mr. Fabulous Hubs did the grocery shopping. I guess that means he wants me to cook.

**We took Monkey Wrench, Sassy, and Tree Monkey to Dairy Queen for ice cream treats on Thursday. We had 45 minutes with just them. They have been feeling neglected with the foster boys needing so much running around. They have noted that it seems that I am always taking one or more of the boys somewhere and they miss their mom. A more concerted effort is now being made to spend one-on-one time with each of my kids each week.

As each boy gets a visit with their family each week and gets treats and other special things we have decided to have things that are just for our children. One of the boys is way okay with this and the other two think they should get everything that our kids get AND what their families get. Well, I am the boss and we are doing it my way. They may understand later or maybe not, but I'm okay with the new arrangements.

** This week friends of mine are beginning to sell a CD that will make your Sunday mornings peaceful. His music is so soothing and beautiful. The CD's will make a great Mother's Day gift, birthday gift, or a just because gift. Get one for you and some to gift. Go here to get a sneak peak and to order. I promise you won't regret it.

** This little guy is providing hours of entertainment. Here is a short video of just one of his many antics.




Do you think it's AFV worthy?
The kids do.

You have got a full house. That does seem like a tricky thing to negotiate. :(

Millie said...

Those shelves are sweet.

I need to be better about one on one time too.
You have a krazy little jungle life there!

I am such a sucker for kittens! That is the cutest little clip of kitten curiosity! I love it.
